That well-discovered country, from whose bourn

The van so oft removes,—puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear this foreign trash

Than walk to Bow-street, ’twixt two New Police!

Thus Jardine does make cowards of us all;

And thus our stock in trade of resolution

Goes oozing out at his most dreaded name;

And all our plans and projects, in a moment,

From great regard for it are all my eye,

And, what’s more—Betty Martin.
